Equipment
- Non-stick skillet
- Grater
- Mixing Bowl
- Kitchen Towel
- Spatula
- Medium Saucepan
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds starchy potatoes (Russet or Maris Piper)
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp clarified butter or ghee
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp fresh herbs (chives or rosemary) (optional)
Instructions
- Parboil the potatoes in gently simmering water for 5 minutes, then drain and allow them to cool slightly.
- Peel (if desired) and grate the cooled potatoes using a coarse grater.
- Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with the chopped onion, salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs if using.
- Heat the non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the clarified butter and vegetable oil.
- Press the potato mixture into the skillet to form a flat, round patty approximately 1/2-inch thick.
- Cook for 6–8 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 6–8 minutes.
- Transfer the rosti onto paper towels to absorb excess oil before serving immediately.
Notes
For best results, avoid frequent stirring to allow the crust to form evenly. Removing excess moisture from the potatoes is key to a crispy texture.
